I was doing some stuff for school and I was going through my collection of bookmarks and remembered this site: Virtual Autopsy. I have it posted on the right side on my collection of links, but I thought I would draw your attention to it. It has 18 case studies of autopsies. You choose a case and then click on the different systems of the body on the "interactive cadaver" on the left side. It then tells you the significant findings and provides necessary pictures. After going through each system you click on cause of death at the bottom. This brings you to a screen that gives you a bunch of choices. You then pick one and it tells you if you are right or wrong and why. It actually is a good simulated autopsy because it shows how a pathologist might approach writing the report. Maybe it is only me who thought it was kind of fun, but maybe some doctors and med students might appreciate it as well.
